3 years ago I started taking pictures with my Samsung/GoPro and per accident found a passion in retouching them. First with the IG-settings (not the filters) and later with Lightroom. I didn't think: "Oh man... there are so many people who are way better than me, why should I even try?" - I just did it because I loved it! I have always adored landscapes and nature and hated this superficiality and showing off around IG... I decided to be different, to talk about what I feel or think instead of using a copied phrase from Google. And decided that one day I will make money and create real art with my passion, I will travel and explore the world and discover other cultures, instead of doing something I don't like. It's not about becoming rich or living fully from my passion, I just want to be happy, try out new things and stay curious. And I know that one day I won't have to worry about money anymore. 😁

I invested in my first Canon, then after 2 years in my Sony and now I can proudly say that my work/investitions start paying off. More and more people get interested in my work, I am getting booked for Events... Things like that.

For those who always wondered who or how these pics are taken: I use a tripod and my phone as remote controll. 😁 To be precise, these two shots are long exposures à 6 seconds each. Because it would be overexposed, I used a neutral density filter. (More detailed infos at the end of this post!) ________________________________________________

Atlantic study 3/3 - Fun exercise to get the plein air setup going in the studio this week. I’ll try to get these little studies up in the shop this weekend for any of you interested in a tiny oil painting

A sense of place: painter Richard Rosebery uses the Australian bush as his inspiration, creating scenes of an ancient, rugged land. See his intriguing portfolio featured today by visiting www.ArtsyShark.com. Follow the artist on Instagram @roseberyr

“It is difficult fo find an exact or cogent defintion for Romanticsim // Romanticism neither depends precisely on choice of subject nor in exact truth, but a mode of feeling,” says Louis Grachos ⛰
With the invention of cameras and photography in the 1800s, coinciding with Romanticism, romantic photography became a medium artists wanted to try out.
Ironically, the movement was meant to be a direct rejection of scientific and technological advancements (Industrial Era) but it somehow became a beautiful overlap photographers use even today.
Realism was also on the rise along the same time, where many photographers opted to use that style in their photography, as a way to document scenes in the most realistic way, rather than using their imagination to create landscape scenery.
Photographs allowed photographers to document people, events and landscapes in their truest forms, they showed the weathering of trees, peoples age/ expressions or reactions and other factually sound information. However realist/ romantic photography has its limitations. Many a times photographs taken at night or at sunset have exposure levels that would result in dark imagery, with stronger shadows and less highlights to see the foreground, that’s where painters used their skill to their advantage: paintings landscapes that allowed them to depict what they wanted to be the focus, trees were not just silhouettes that hid the setting sun and everything could remain in focus.
